Common use of Medical Placements Clause in Contracts

Medical Placements. Where it is established through a medical practitioner that an employee has a permanent partial medical disability through non occupational or occupational injury or illness which prevents him from returning to his original classification, he shall return to another position opening for which he is medically able and qualified or will be within sixty (60) working days without the position being posted and prior to standing applications. If such a move takes place, the employee’s classification seniority (as set out in Article 7.1(5) where the position opening shall determine the employee’s full-time/part- time status for the Article 7.1(5) seniority calculation) or GO Transit’s seniority (GO Transit hire date) whichever is lesser, will be used in the new classification. The rate of pay shall be red-circled at the previously held classification or at his/her new classification, whichever is greater. Thereafter he/she will receive the rate of the classification to which he/she is assigned. Should the employee not be able to obtain OPP clearance, special constable status, or any other status or clearance required to fully perform the duties of his/her position the employee shall be returned to his previously held position and any employee displaced as a result of such return shall similarly have the right to return to his previously held position. All such moves will be mutually agreed between the parties.
